The electricity industry already is — and has been for years — in a rapid transition away from
coal and towards
cleaner generation — a transition driven mainly by fundamental
market forces such as lower gas prices, lower costs for wind and solar power and energy efficiency, and by state and federal policies and company planning decisions that long predated the
Clean Power Plan.
Power companies are well on their way to meet the Plan's targets, thanks to the fact that the electricity industry has already started rapidly moving away from
coal and towards
cleaner generation — a transition driven mainly by fundamental
market forces such as lower gas prices, lower costs for wind and solar power and energy efficiency, and by state and federal policies and company planning decisions that long predated the Plan.
Far from it: the power industry is already engaged in a rapid transition away from
coal to
cleaner generation, driven by fundamental
market forces such as low gas prices and low costs for renewable energy and energy efficiency.

They hope to continue gaming the system by selling carbon credits of doubtful authenticity on an already corrupt
market, and demanding climate reparations and technology transfers from the West, while remaining free to build their own

But China remains firmly committed to curbing its
coal use and recently confirmed plans for a national carbon
market to help drive the switch to
cleaner energy sources.
Even without the
Clean Power Plan,
coal's share of national electricity generation has been in steep decline for over a decade, dropping from 49 % in 2007 to 33 % in 2015, due largely to hydraulic fracturing, which has flooded the
market with cheap, lower carbon natural gas.
It also shrinks the
market for
coal and increases demand for
cleaner - burning fuels such as natural gas, of which Exxon has huge holdings.

While the mainstream media has yet to decipher fact from fiction in the «
clean coal»
marketing campaign, a graduate assistant at a college in Ohio managed to cap»n trade some of the comments and ads of presidentialr candidates Barack Obama and John McCain (and the erstwhile Hillary and Bill Cinton) on the role of
coal and nuclear energy in their campaigns.
Prior to World War II, «
clean coal» or «smokeless
coal» was a
marketing term used to describe anthracite and high - grade bituminous
coal used for cooking and home heating.
Market Transformation One of our goals is to make
clean - energy affordable and cost less than its dirty counterparts such as
coal.
The European Union's Energy Roadmap to 2050 and the US Environmental Protection Agency's recent
Clean Power Plan show that the construction of new
coal plants will be severely constrained in Western
markets.
In addition to the local impact on marine life and coastlines in the Northwest, building the Bellingham
coal terminal and others like it would provide access to the vast Asian
market for big
coal companies in the U.S. that are losing domestic
market share to
cleaner - burning natural gas and green energy.
It unleashes
market forces that will punish
coal use and incentivise
clean innovation.
All the examples we need are the subsidies and tax credits and laws and rules that favor renewable energy that can not compete in a fair and honest
market and can not deliver a reasonable fraction of their capacity, that suck up our tax money that should be used to promote Nuclear and
Clean Coal.
But the idea of «
clean coal» — particularly as it has been
marketed by industry — remains controversial among groups that are unsure if CCS will work and argue «
clean coal» is still not as
clean as alternative forms of solar or wind energy.
From the «Could» a, would» a, should» a» Comment Department: we might note that it was by using a classic interference with the
market that the fossil fuel industry promoted dirty fuels — it worked to hide the true cost accounting of
coal and all carbon fuels - and even funded the political suppression of
clean energy — wind and solar.
But without the
Clean Power Plan, the market incentive to invest in clean coal disappears, she a
Clean Power Plan, the
market incentive to invest in
clean coal disappears, she a
clean coal disappears, she added.
Conservatives are in a bit of an awkward position in that they support subsidies for «
clean coal» (
coal with carbon capture and sequestration) and nuclear power, but neither is competitive on today's energy
markets.
â $ ¨ In the end, the
market will decide which is the better performer, dirty
coal - fired power or
clean wind and solar.
